While the problem of the safest and
best way of heating railroad cars must be
admitted to be difficult one, it does not
follow that great improvements might
not be made upon the method at present
in use in this region, in point of safety
from fire. We have ridden in cars on
Western railroads heated by hot air car
ried around the car in pipes from the
stove. Under such a method, the car
stove could be encased in box or COM
partment of boiler iron, which would not
be likely to break open, if the car was
wrecked, and would keep the fire in the
stoves from communicating Immediately
to the combustibles in the car, even if the
stove should be upset or broken. Some
such arrangement rs this would greatly
lessen the risk of destruction Of passenger
ears by car-stove confagrations Eventu-
ally some method which will remove all
fire from the interior of passenger cars,
will undoubtedly be adopted, and the
sooner the better.

The Troy Times has been computing the
cost of the New York strike, and finds it
to be $4,000 per day or 100000 per week,
at the small average loss per man of 81 a

LET your promises be few and strictly

It's pity that the president of the United

There seems to be pretty good chance
for disagreement between the Senate
and the House on the subject of authoriz-
ing the president to declare non-ntercourse
with Canada in retaliation for the treat
ment of American fishing vessels. The leg
islation proposed by Secretary Manning,
which the House is not unlikely to agree
to, goes further than some of the most
influential senators deem expedent, and
further than is necessary to accomplish
the intended purpose. The purpose of the
Canadian policy has been two fold one
to crowd this country into a reciprocity
treaty, and to promote their own fishing
interests. The exclusion of their fish from
our markets is likely to be enough to
show them their mistake. The closing of
our ports to their trading vessels is surely
going as far in the way of retaliation AS
would be expedient or necessary. Pro
hibition of general intercourse by land
would injure our own citizens almost as
much as the Canadians, and would bring
about very uncomfortable state of feel
ing between the two nations. On these
accounts, many think it would be wise to
restrict the power granted to the pres-
dent, to these two measures.

The New York strikers have lost every
point they desired to gain, have squander-
ed an immense amount of money which
they could little afford to spare, and have
put the public to great inconvenience and
loss. What have they gained by it all
what could they expect to gain The
strike was an arbitrary affair, entered into
by thousands who had no complaint
against their employers simply because
an order to strike had been issued by some
master workman. Justice and common
sense were both lost sight of by the
knights of Labor in this strike, and it is
no wonder they have suffered defeat.

The current report of Cousin Ben Fol
SONS resignation is denied. 1t is asserted
on the contrary, that our consul at Shelf
field, England, has arranged to give a
series of entertainments, which it is pre-
sumed, are to rival in Sheffield the State
dinners at the White House, and for this
purpose he desires to have the State de
partment recommend an increase in his
salary in order that there may be fair
margin for display of this sort. The State
department, however, will think twice
about it, and Congress will think three
times. Meanwhile Cousin Ben will go on
organizing his baseball club and distribu-
ting his official cards.

Two resolutions.s Substantially similar in
purport have been promptly adopted by
the Senate and Assembly of New York,
directing the railroad commissioners to
report what legislation is necessary to en-
sure passengers upon the railroads from
death by burning. Both were promptly
passed without a dissenting vote, and
there is a strong prospect that one State,
at least will force the railroad companies
TO adopt additional safeguards for the lives
Of their passengers.

only demonstrate how impracticable those

DINING WITH VICTORIA.
Ceremonies Observed in the Private Dim
ing-Room in Victoria Tower.

IFS AscoAAA III stStoIi0 AOWeTs
Sir Henry leads the way to her
Majesty's private drawing-room and the
visitor finds himself in the presence of
royalty, it may be for the first time He
is soon treasured, and unless he is a
stammering churl, who would be ill at
ease in any lady's company, he soon
feels at home. He is sure to be a
celebrity, and the Queen kindly ques-
tions as to the "forte' which has made
him famous, sending him away quite
happy after the ten minutes interview
to while away the time till dinner This
he can do in his own apartments or in
the salon of the ladies and gentlemen in
waiting, as he pleases.
The dinner itself is rather more try
ing. To begin with, it is not served
until nine o'clock, so that the visitor, if
it be his first visit, will be blessed with
an alderman's appetite by the time he
finds himself in the reception-room, or
rather corridor, adjoining the private
dining-room in the Victoria Tower.
Mr.. Gladstone and several other
old stagers always provide them
selves with sandwiches, which they eat
in their rooms. The Queen enters at
five minutes to the hour, says a
word or two to each guest, and then
pilots the way to the dinner table Here
the nervous visitors happiness depends
greatly on his luck. If by any chance
Princess Christian happens to be dining
at the Castle and he sits next her he is
sure to have good time. Princess
Louise, the Duchess of Connaught, the
Duchess of Albany, are all the best of
company. On the other hand, the Prin-
cess of Wales, though her manner is
charming, is, from her deafness, rather
a trying neighbor to nervous visitor,
while Princess Beatrice is so quiet as to
give frightened stranger quite erro-
neous impression of hauteur. The Queen
addresses, in the course of the meal, one
sentence to each guest, which he is ex-
pected to answer briefly and well, all
other conversation ceasing during the
dialogue. There is no sitting over wine
by the gentlemen, and in one hour they
are all in the reception-room again.
The guests do not sit, but advance in
turn and say few words to her Maj
esty, who then bows to the company
and retires to her private apartments.
Next morning the guests breakfast in
their own rooms, and are expected to
leave by half-past ten. They do not.

Queen in the morning.-London Society.

ROYAL Persian Hunts,

The Shah is mighty hunter, a good
shot, and an enthusiastic sportsman.
Big game is his delight The King,
like all the sportsmen of his country,
uses smooth bore and a bullet. Of
course royal hunts are to a certain ex-
tent, battues. A strange incident of
Eastern life. but true one, occurred
some twelve years ago at one of these
royal huntings. As usual, a couple of
regiments accompanied the Shah on
his hunting party. The men acted as
heaters. A tiger was wounded, and
was making off under the Kings eyes.
The royal second barrel was discharged,
but did not kill the wounded animal.
Fearful of losing his quarry. the King
was reloading (muzzle-loaders are still
preferred by Persians), when private
soldier seized the tiger by the tail and
detained him long enough for the Shah
to despatch the animal. His Majesty
made that soldier Captain on the spot.
